Stupid question but are such hackers mostly trust fund babies? With their future secure and nothing but boredom? Coz the rest of us are too busy making a living for such exploits (no pun intended).
>Apple's AI strategy is to put inference (and longer term even learning) on edge devices.

Apple's AI strategy is to put inference (and longer term even learning) on edge devices...only for Apple stuff.

There is a big difference. ANE right now is next to useless for anything not Apple.
>Most of the "Services" on that list are effectively apps, too:

Even with the additional apps you've selected it still doesn't come close to the one app per month claim.

>I didn't touch hardware, because I think that should be considered separately.

So why even mention it? Is Apple impervious to discontinuing hardware?

>The first of 211 services on that site was killed in 2006.

So we're talking about services now? Or apps? Or apps and services? The goal posts keep moving.

>You need to remind yourself of the site guidelines about assuming the worst. Your comments just come across condescendingly.

I suggest you also consult the guidelines in regards to calling people names. My comments were never intended to be inferred that way.
Have you considered drinking decaf?
Only recently. It started out as soldered to the main board.
world's biggest market by population perhaps, but out of the 1.3B population for China, 700M of them make less than $100/month. 200M makes around $1000/month, but with the recent wage cuts across industries, more like $500/month for most middle class.
> “I’m hoping that the tent expands. I’ve always kind of hated it when there’s only one tentpole, like Harry Potter or whatever. I want there to be more tentpoles with room for more people underneath.”

There already are? Deltora Quest, The Old Kingdom, The Chronicles of Narnia, Goosebumps, Percy Jackson, Keys to the Kingdom, Artemis Fowl, Tamora Pierce, David Eddings, Robin Hobb (depending on reading level and expectations) ... And there are plenty of non-series books for that age group as well - Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle - they mentioned Bridge to Terabithia too...

The idea that reading isn't possible for young kids without the next black swan publishing/cinematic/theme-park experience, or that there just isn't anything other than Harry Potter to read seems crazy to me.

But I guess I'm not 9 anymore. Interesting that they didn't actually ask any 9-year-olds either it seems.
> it was make or break time for the company after the mess of the Wii U

This is absolutely not true. They had enough cash reserves to keep operating with those annual losses for 80 more years.
Public school education is poor in part because it’s darn near impossible to fire bad teachers though. And I don’t see how unions would improve housing affordability.

I’m not against unions per se, particularly for positions which are not as lavishly compensated as a typical white collar FAANG employee. I’m merely pointing out that you need to pick better examples. Otherwise you just undermine your own argument.
Your quote omits the qualifying part of that sentence, which is important. :-)

What does it mean to "last longer" when it comes to your own codebase? And why would web components help with that?
So many use it to criticize others.

I used RFC1918 addresses as examples only.

10.7.7.7 shouldn't get dropped, because it's supposed to be routed over the VPN. The DHCP server shouldn't be able to cause VPN-bound traffic to be dropped, in my opinion.

As I replied to one of your other comments, I don't think making the attack go from privacy-breach to denial-of-service is "preventing" the attack: you've only partially mitigated it. Full mitigation requires more than the firewall rules you've described.

Said differently, a malicious DHCP server should not be able to denial-of-service traffic within your VPN (or, by selectively pushing routes and then observing the impact on generated traffic, probabalistically determine the IPs with which you're communicating!).
Perhaps… but maybe I see the ECC as an insurance policy on top of a dodgy CPU. Frankly, I set my CPU to Intel Baseline and then ran Cinebench for over an hour on the multi-core test with zero ill effects. Hopefully I’m lucky in the end.
I think that at this point Google's primary advantage is that they have a generally up-to-date snapshot of the world as it currently exists. Practically every business is integrated with Google, and practically everybody uses Google to find things in the real world like restaurants or local services. Google doesn't give a damn about whether people use the service to learn about some topic or generate boilerplate code or something - those queries aren't really where the money is anyway. It's essentially become the high-tech modern equivalent of the phone book, and despite what HNers often say, it is damn useful.

I honestly don't see any way that OpenAI will be able to replicate these structural advantages using ML models. How are they going to get up-to-date info about the millions of businesses in the world? How are they going to compete with the very built-out infra Google has for customer ratings, most busy times for locations, etc? Google has been building good will with real-world organizations for decades to achieve what it has now. What, you think every tech-illiterate business owner is going to suddenly jump onto OpenAI?

My prediction is that whatever OpenAI offers will likely have a similar use case to ChatGPT. Good for learning, good for exploration of topics, but bad at giving accurate and up-to-date real-world info. I'd love to be proven wrong, for OpenAI to release a really revolutionary product that makes Google obsolete. But it strikes me that this problem of "matching users to the accurate information they desire" is just as much of an infrastructure / logistics problem as it is a software one, if not even more so. And OpenAI just doesn't have the scale or the capability.
Any book or movie that I enjoy I end up doing a deep dive on it's author, their situation in life, what was going on in the world at the time it was written, etc just to get a context for what may have inspired the creation. Sometimes a single detail about someone's past can instantly click the meaning or moral or conflict they were trying to portray.
Huawei had about 30% mobile phone market share in Europe before they got killed off - which is probably a part of the reason why it even happened. Can't have competition.
True, we learnt calculus before college in my home country - but it was just basic stuff. But I learnt a lot more of it including partial derivatives in first year of engineering college.

>I think I used Calculus more during electrical engineering than for computer/software engineering.

I think that was OPs point - most engineering disciplines teach it.
From what I observed with my own kids, the books that were either mandatory or on the selection list to read for assignments were shockingly bad, and on top of that 100% targetted at the girl half of the class. Wether this is the result of teaching having become almost exclusively female or other cultural drives is hard to say.
Instead of the same old talking point, what solution do you propose?

Should the executive branch agency make decisions by fiat, without due process? The use of due process doesn't make them a judiciary; it's just a more fair way to make decisions within their purview.

Should we move every such judgment out of the executive branch's hands? First, they have to be able to make some decisions.

But the heart of this issue is, as is well known: There aren't nearly enough capacity in the judicial branch to handle all that work. It's a trick to prevent lawful and needed regulation from happening by severely cutting their capacity.
If we follow Moore's Law, that is 3.5 doublings, wish is a little more than 11x difference. Means you need at least 10x the amount of hardware to get the same amount of work done
Are you thinking of "weak" rather than "inline"?
I always thought of "inline" as a hint to the compiler -- the compiler can inline, but it may not, depending on some compiler-specific optimisation objective (execution speed, code size, ...).
I've never encountered an actual Apple Store not having specced up machines on hand (maybe not EVERY possible configuration, but a decent selection). If you go to a non-Apple retailer, afaik, they are limited to the base spec machines (RAM wise), it's not even a matter of them being out of stock. If you want anything other than 8GB (or whatever the base amount is for that model) of RAM you need to go through Apple directly. This was the case, at least in Canada a few years ago, correct me if I'm wrong/things have changed.
Neither of you are giving examples, only conjecture. Bad teachers are a noteworthy cause of poor schools. House prices wouldn't be so high if we had unions. Ok, prove it. Or at least give me some reasoning to go off.
Its not an "observation" its someone making it up. Why are you so upset if I disagree?
I'm anti-union AND pro labour regulation. Your government should be targeting wealth inequality with legislation and public services on all of these issues. The union tends to become another opaque organisation with a power hierarchy of its own and layers of internal politics and power struggles. The unions rarely if ever push for legislation change either because it would risk their existence.

The corporations should live in fear of the government, not an independent union.

Also my father was a union member for many years but was ousted after suggesting that full time management were wasting members' money on expenses. This turned into a 2 year long shit show where he was pretty much forced out of the job he had for being a non union scab. As much as being told he was a lesser human.

If one were to start a project from scratch today, with the goal of having such a hyper-efficient TUI, similar to the Lowes/Costco ones, to be accessible via SSH/Telnet/locally... are there frameworks out there to use? Would my best bet still be ncurses? Are there simpler alternatives?
When you say "shoplifting," do you mean someone has simply walked/run out of the store without paying for something? If so, I don't really understand what that has to do with safety. Same with plenty of other crimes, such as someone jumping a subway turnstile, graffiti, etc. These things surely lead to a lower quality of life and I'd prefer that they didn't happen, but I personally wouldn't say that they make a city dangerous.
> It’s clear to me: NYC doesn’t feel safe.

What is that based on? Is there a survey? When I've been in NYC, people seem to feel very safe and relaxed, 24/7 (of course, in the city that never sleeps).
I fail to see how it's more precise. Obviously if the definition is inline, it's duplicated in every point where the declaration is imported.

Beginners fail to understand for example that providing a class member function definition within the class definition makes it inline, but that's already what you're doing textually, and that's what the keyword means.
It is a good baseline to start with the expectation that no one will read your book, no one will see your art, no one will listen to your music, no one will watch your videos, no one will listen to your presentation, no one will use your software, no one will buy your product etc.

As someone who works at an art school, the thing that differenciates a beginner from a successful graduate isn't that they can physically do a thing — it is that they go one of two ways:

1. They have a good and current knowledge of what people would find interesting and do things among those lines

2. They have a precise idea of what they themselves find interesting and by their arts manage to make others interested

Both can work pretty well, I like the latter more, because it often leads to more interesting and unique takes. But that means when you do a book, music, video, presentation, etc. it should be a thing that you yourself would find useful, interesting and good even if it was made by your worst enemy.

The problem with the art of many amateuer artists is that they think their stuff is already good or interesting because they made it or because they had a great time/extremely deep thoughts doing it. But those are all things someone from the outside won't see.

You won't be able to make a good presentation if you have never given it a thought what you think a great presentation is and you never asked yourself where your presentation would land on that scale. And now do that times a hundred and you might get good.
You thought wrong.

Marking the symbol as weak is what inline indeed does from a technical point of view.

Intel stagnated for several years, allowing AMD and Apple (both using TSMC) to produce CPUs that are simultaneously faster and more power efficient than Intel's. There wasn't really anything Intel could do about the power efficiency in the short run so they went all in on performance and started selling desktop CPUs with a 6 GHz turbo that draw >250 watts. Apparently this is not great for reliability.
I watched this at 2x expecting a mildly interesting educational video. This was a mistake. Almost forgot to blink.
"Let it rust"? If you live near the sea, cars rust and there's not a lot you can do about it. You can attend to visible rust timeously, but there are plenty of hollow spaces where it can fester for years, all unnoticable, before it pops out through the paintwork.
I agree. This is the type of competition I like to see between these two companies. In the end the consumer wins regardless of which one you buy. Google has also promised 10 years of Chromebook support, so they've clearly got the message on the importance of supporting hardware much longer than a lot of people would use them for.
They are for those tasks, where you do need high performance. Where you would wait for your device instead. A few tasks require all cpu power you can get, so that is what the performance cores are for. But most of the time, it will consume a fraction of that power.
I think what a lot of us also might miss is the sense of ownership and creativity that came with personal websites and blogs. People used to have their little corner of the internet where they could express themselves however they wanted, whether it was through HTML coding or just sharing their thoughts. Now it seems like almost every blog is trying to sell you something.

For those who don't know, the senior author on this paper (Sepp Hochreiter) was the first author on the original paper with Schmidhuber introducing LSTMs in 1997.
The most difficult part is figuring out what they are measuring, and how they want you to solve the problem, there are hundreds of ways to solve a problem. And once you have a solution, there is no time to make it o(n) effective, or do micro optimizations. That's why I hate automated coding tests. If there is an actual person with you - talk to that person! Ask how they will measure your performace, and ask how they want the problem to be solved! Then explain how you are thinking - can't do that to an automated code test.
>>overanalyze it for “meaning”.<< I doubt overanalyzing actually happens. But pupils, including younger me, just don't understand how much more work and thought have gone into the legends they are reading. Yes, it's a 500 page tome. No, neither the blooming flower nor its color on page 356, line 38 are "random" and them symbolizing the meaning of life isn't "bullshit." Yes, a work like this happens only once a decade on one continent. That's exactly why it's one of the maybe 20 books that you read in full during your schooling.

IMO guided reviews seem like a great option in general. You have complete control over what goes into the code to review and it wouldn't even have to be code in the first place. Could also be documentation, processes or architectures.

And that skill remains valueable even when LLMs become the most effective way to write code at some point.

But to be honest, I don't think LLMs will ever replace "coders". Language theory has always been an important part of CS degrees, and that's because in programming you need an efficient and precise way to express what exactly you want the computer to do.

In that way I don't see why whatever we end up feeding into LLMs shouldn't be considered "code". I guess that in the end we'll get smaller LLMs put into compilers to enable better optimizations.
The thought of building an interview assistant for coding interviews and selling it for few $k A pop has crossed my mind on more than one occasion. Run audio capture and OCR, along with some finetuning on prompt engineering of how to solve the problem in steps with explanation of each one.
You might enjoy subscribing to a book review journal like the London Times Literary Supplement, London Review of Books, or New York Review of Books. They all have their biases but I’ve found them to be useful for learning about recently released books that I want to read.

(I am a former subscriber of all three and thought the LTLS was the best and least biased.)
I bought a second-hand office-grade PC recently, about a year ago. It was about $10 to $15, had no disks (obviously) and just 2 GB of DDR3 RAM. Also, an integrated GPU with some low-grade Intel CPU (Pentium, if I’m not wrong). Even the generation isn’t current, it’s about a decade old, a bit more.

I put a spare 120 GB SSD, a cheap no-name brand that was just lying around for some testing purposes. Found the similar off-the-shelf DDR3 2 GB RAM stick. I thought the RAM was faulty, turned out it’s in a working condition, so I put it there.

I need the computer for basic so-called office work (a browser, some messengers, email client and a couple of other utilities). I thought I’d buy at least two 4GB RAM sticks after I test it, so you know, 8 GB is just the bare imaginable minimum! I have my 16 GBs everywhere since, idk, maybe 2012 or something.

And you know what?! It works very well with 4 GB of RAM and default Fedora (it’s 40 now, but I started with 38, iirc). It has the default Gnome (also, 46 now, started with 44, iirc). And it works very well!

It doesn’t allow me to open a gazillion of browser tabs, but my workflow is designed to avoid it, so I have like 5 to 10 open simultaneously.

Before throwing Fedora at the PC, I thought I would just install a minimal Arch Linux with swaywm and be good. But I decided I don’t want to bother, and I’ll just buy 8 GB later on, and be done with it.

And here I am, having full-blown Gnome and just 4 GB of RAM. I don’t restrict myself too much, the only time I notice it’s not my main PC is when I want to do some heavy web-browsing (e.g. shopping on some different heavy websites with many tabs opened). Then it slows down significantly, till I close the unnecessary tabs or apps. All the software is updated and current, so it’s not like it’s some ancient PC from 00’s.

Also, I have my iPad Pro 12,9 1st Gen with just 4 GB of RAM too, and I never feel it’s slow for me.

I understand that some tasks would require a lot of RAM, and it’s not for everyone. Having a lot of RAM everywhere, I’m quite used to not thinking of it at all for a significant part of my career (for over a decade now), so I may have something opened for weeks that I don’t have any need for.

So, it’s 2024, and I’m surprised to say that 4 GB of RAM is plenty when you’re focused on some tasks and don’t multitask heavily. Which never productive for me at least. I even noticed that I enjoy my low-memory PC even more, as it reminds me with its slowdowns that I’m entering the multitasking state.

I use swaywm on my Arch Linux laptop, and most of the time it’s less than 3–4 Gb (I have 16 Gb).
Yes, but you understood what I meant since you could assert that it’s not what it means.
Now that we have LLMs, it's possible to trim the fat out of books and condense them to a more concise version.
Your point is nightlifers correlate with nuisance riders?
Yes that sums up the actual priorities. Day care first, obedience and indoctrination second, learning anything last.

Montessori maybe a good option, but expensive and many schools have long waiting lists.

I understand homeschooling doesn’t work economically for a lot of families. It did for us. We more or less unschooled without a specific curriculum — homeschooling doesn’t have to mean imitating what goes on in schools. Read John Holt and Ivan Illich for inspiration.

I don't understand the question.

Here is the first example I found on Google if that helps you understand.

[](Fluid& ) { std::cout << "fluid\n"; },

[](FragileItem& ) { std::cout << "fragile\n"; }
}, package);
> Do you have a legal right to write software or run your own software for hardware you bought?

No, obviously not. Do you have a right to run a custom OS on your PS5? Do you have a right to run a custom application on your cable set-top box? Etc. Such a right obviously doesn’t exist and most people generally are somewhere between “don’t care” and actively rejecting it for various reasons (hacking in games, content DRM, etc).

It’s fine if you think there should be, but it continues this weird trend of using apple as a foil for complaining about random other issues that other vendors tend to be just as bad or oftentimes even worse about, simply because they’re a large company with a large group of anti-fans/haters who will readily nod along.

Remember when the complaint was that the pelican case of factory OEM tools you could rent (or buy) to install your factory replacement screen was too big and bulky, meaning it was really just a plot to sabotage right to repair?

It seems Sepp Hochreiter has talked already about this model since Oct 2023: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27011

In the scaling law comparison, I wonder if it is reasonable to compare number of parameters between Llama, Mamba, RWKV, xLSTM? Isn't compute time more relevant? E.g. in the figure about scaling laws, replace num of params by compute time.

Specifically, the sLSTM has still recurrence (memory mixing) in it, i.e. you cannot fully parallelize the computation. So scaling up Transformer could still look better when you look at compute time.

It seems neither the code nor the model params are released. I wonder if that will follow.
